WOLFEBORO — This year is the 450th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s birth and the perfect time to see one of his silliest plays, Love’s Labour’s Lost, performed by the six-time award winning Perform It! Young People’s Stage Company, May 8-11 at The Village Players Theater.

The King of Navarre and his three lords agree to have no contact with women for three years while they devote themselves to study, but when the Princess of France and three lovely ladies arrive at the court, the men must resort to desperate measures, and antics! Saucy narrators make sure the audience is keeping up with the action. Lively dialogue, beautiful costumes, music and dance make this production a joyful feast for the eyes and ears.

Perform It! is celebrating its 20th anniversary bringing Shakespeare to Lakes Region audiences. Performances are Friday, May 9 and Saturday, May 10 at 7:30; and Sunday, May 11 at 2:00 at The Village Players Theater, 51 Glendon St., Wolfeboro.

Tickets will be available at The Country Bookseller in Wolfeboro, or can be purchased by calling 323-8991, or emailing tickets@performitstagecompany.org. Adult tickets are $12; tickets for children 12 and under are $7. In addition, there is a special morning performance Thursday, May 8, 10 a.m.; all tickets for this performance are $7.00.
